SMS Package w/ EXE file not installing.

I have a compressed .exe file I want to distribute across my network. For the package 'Tars.exe' I am giving a CMD line to execute as:

setup.exe /package:Tars.exe /sms /s

The client successfully downloads the package and it starts, but eventually just times out after 12 hours, with no other error message that might tell me what the problem is. Am I missing any switches above form what you can see? Could the initial setup.exe only extract the file on the local pc, but is waiting for another action to start the install from the location of the extracted files?

Before running it via SMS have you confirmed the command works on your local machine?
try running setup.exe /package:Tars.exe /sms /s on your PC and see what happens, it sounds like the silent install is not working and it may be waiting for a user input.
Sometimes you can run setup.exe /? and it may tell you which switches you can use.
